Tires Pirelli or Barum

My stock tires of pirelli scorpion ms are fantastic but I have around 500 miles on the odometer. No complaints so far and seem quiet

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.

I personally love the Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 tires. Great overall performance and a 70k mile warranty. I’ve put them (and the AS 2) on 2 of my trucks (07 F150 King Ranch and 20 RAM 1500 Limited) , Chevy Cruze LTZ and Equinox LT AWD.

I found 50mm Pirelli Cinturato H to be pretty fastastic.

The closest you’re going to get to snow tire performance without an actually snow tire is going to be something in the all weather segment. It’ll be like the crossclimate 2, WRG5 or Pirelli weatheractive.

Tbf to Pirelli, after Silverstone 2013 they’re scared shitless for another debacle

Had some Pirellis on a former car. Ok ride but didn't last near as long as they were rated.

My new GTI has p-zero all seasons and they suck. So much slop, understeer, and it's really hard to put the power down.

I have had experiences with many tires models on CX-5, my shop basically agreed Scorpion has to be one of the worst tires to recommend to customer for all the reasons you mentioned. These tires has worse road feel than even Westlakes

My initial PZeros have a tire bulge at 13k. I think they were 80% down anyhow.
